Case Equality – For class Object, effectively the
same as calling #==, but typically overridden by descendants
to provide meaningful semantics in case statements.

if (obj1 == obj2) return Qtrue;
result = rb_funcall(obj1, id_eq, 1, obj2);

true ^ obj → !obj

Exclusive Or—Returns true if obj is nil
or false, false otherwise.
